AGL Certified Unheated/Untreated Ceylon Blue Oval Cut Sapphire 2.40 carats (BLUEOWV240)
|
Medium Blue Color with an eye clean (Type2 VS) clarity on this oval cut sapphire mined in Sri Lanka (Ceylon).This sapphire has a rich deep standard of color that few sapphires match. To me it's that perfect blend of Royal blue with a touch of violet to give it an added intensity and depth to its color. Certified by AGL (American Gemological Laboratories) as a natural unheated sapphire.
